Fair value as of: Jul 11, 2026

From 6 valuation models · updated 29 days ago

Fair value updated Jul 11, 2026, revised from C$8.89 to C$8.38 (−5.7%) since Jun 24, 2026. Share price +10.7% over the past month.

A solid business, but screening 80% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (C$10.84). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (60/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
  • A fairly wide model range (C$5.92 to C$10.84) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Neo Performance Materials Inc (NEO) currently trades at C$41.93, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is C$8.38, implying the stock looks roughly 80.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: low).

Over the trailing twelve months, Neo Performance Materials Inc generated revenue of C$512M at a net margin of -2.0%. Revenue grew 27.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -2.6%. Net debt stands at C$67.1M. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026

Our scenario range runs from C$5.92 (bear case) to C$10.84 (bull case); at C$41.93, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 290% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at -80%, NEO screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
